There are some myths regarding ‘A Brand’ in a marketers’ mind. Rather than a combination of name, logo and slogan, a brand is something related to your corporate image, which helps you in distinguishing yourself from thousands of competitors. An example of a perfect brand is Apple Inc., which simply describes all of the properties of Apple as well as helping users to feel much sophisticated on a community level. Your logo should have some similar elements with other corporate elements of your company in a few ways.
- Company; Not the Product
Let’s talk about the case of Apple itself. Suppose that Apple made their logo comprising an image of their first Personal Computer. They would have changed the logo many times, as they had launched many products in different niches. This is where we find that Apple has been consistent with all their products.

You might not be sure that your venture can hit success with help of single product and you may have to launch new products, standing in different market sections.

You should have a look at successful logo designs as well as failed logo designs. Smart people say, “Never listen to success stories but listen to failures”. It can be helpful to learn from the designing mistakes of failed logo designs and brands. As we said before, some companies have failed as a brand.
